My eldest appears to have some thyroid disfunction. 2 blood tests have shown slightly overactive and slightly underactive. He's complaining of joint pain general tiredness with anxiety and I would say slightly depressed. All general teenage symptoms but I took him to the gp and asked them to test him. Glad I did now, we're waiting for an urgent peads referral to discuss further tests. He doesn't like blood tests!
Who does,when my wife was alive,she'd drive me to have the blood test,to get my blood I had to take a Xynax and hydrate(3 bottles of water sometimes).now that i'm alone, it's entirely different,having mentally prepare seems to work,being "Needle Phobic" is not easy.....
I know all the symptoms..hope it's not his thyroid, but it's better to know now. Good luck.
You may very well be correct...however my particular case was so acute that I was referred to the top consultant in the country..he told me my case interested him..so he would deal with me personally..no charge.
He suspected that my thyroid issue may have been triggered by drinking copious amounts of only bottled water for 12 years..BPA can cause hormonal damage..he was reviewing research into this..but further study is required as they say..so that is inconclusive..but possibly a contributing factor to the gravity of my case.
It might be..I'm no research professor..just read what they write..
But it's funny when you think about what people..even medical doctors advocated as being save in moderation or small dose exposure..
Mercury..arsenic..lead..asbestos..ciggarettes..etc etc etc
These days we know that it wasn't bullshit at all.
Maybe plastics pollution and BPA are not just killing off sea life...now the research is looking at the long term damage or effects of the build up of plastics in humans....who knows?
